À propos de cet audio
He was my savior. My monster. My obsession. My destruction.
A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Ariadne and her Minotaur.
Ariadne Vitalis is in trouble. She's betrayed her father—and his dangerous benefactor—and now she's left to rely on Olympus' questionable mercy. But in this city, mercy comes with a price. For Ariadne, that means a sham marriage to Dionysus. She has no choice but to agree, even if there's only one man she's ever wanted—a man she fears just as much as she desires.
The Minotaur never had any illusions about Minos's plans. He was willing to get his hands dirty as long as the old man kept his word—at the end of their bloody work, the Minotaur would be given Ariadne as a reward. She's meant for him, and he intends to have her, no matter the cost.
Ariadne knows better than to encourage the Minotaur—she's all too aware of how hot a passion like theirs can burn. Besides, she can never forgive him for the terrible things he's done, and he can never change. But when his hands are on her body and his wicked words are whispered in her ear, she might just be willing to let all of Olympus burn…

Histoire80
Callum Griffin is the heir to the Irish mafia. He’s ruthless, arrogant, and he wants to kill me. We got off on the wrong foot when I set a (very small) fire in his house. Our families believe a marriage pact is the only thing that will prevent all-out warfare. I think I might need to murder him while he sleeps. This would all be a lot easier if Callum wasn’t so damned good-looking.

Histoire24
Hockey player Leo Trevi has spent the last six years trying to do two things: get over the girl who broke his heart, and succeed in the NHL. But on the first day he's called up to the newly franchised Brooklyn Bruisers, Leo gets checked on both sides. First by the team's coach, who has a long simmering grudge, and then by the Bruisers' sexy, icy publicist - his former girlfriend Georgia Worthington. Saying goodbye to Leo was one of the hardest things Georgia ever had to do - and saying hello again isn't much easier.

After years of move after move, Witness Protection settled Keira McKenna in Wyoming. Unfortunately, while Keira embraced her new small-town life, her larger-than-life past wouldn’t stay away. And with it, the one man she’d never forget. Four years ago, one massive mistake made Archer Reynolds resign from Boston’s police force. Moving home, he opened Reynolds Protective Group—an elite bodyguard agency—to atone for his failure. But when a series of crimes occur in town, he comes face-to-face with the woman whose name was apparently as fake as her death.

Histoire26
I can’t remember anymore if my grandfather’s eyes were blue or green, but I’ll never forget the way they wrinkled at the corners when he laughed at one of his own jokes. Or the way they sparkled with mischief when he told me tales about the magical creatures that dwelled in the forest behind his humble Irish sheep farm. As a child, I believed every fantastical word. But when he warned me about the mute boy who also lurked in those woods, the one the priest had declared to be the spawn of Satan himself, I refused to listen.

I didn't mean to star in a sex tape, okay? It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds. It just happened. Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying....

Noah Slade is a Formula 1 legend in the making. Focused. Unapproachable. Ruthless on and off the track. A man with walls higher than the Grand Canyon. And my brother's new teammate. I want more of the prince who disguises himself as the villain. But while I crave a happy ending, he wants to destroy his. Maya Alatorre is a forbidden temptation. An ambitious post-grad I should stay far away from. And chaos wrapped with a bow. We're a ticking time bomb, about one wrong move away from exploding. I want to trip the wire, detonating together in passion and pain.

I had one thing on my mind and that was never going to change: The game. The only goal I had was beating the records set by my family. I didn’t have time for anything else. Until she walked in the room. The earth shifted, just like the stories said it would. I said it wouldn’t happen—not to me. I didn’t have the time, but now she was the only thing on my mind. I knew it was her. Now I had to convince her.

When I tumbled into Wonderland, I only wanted to escape the epic mess my life had become. I'm not sure I can trust anything in this bizarre, intoxicating place. But the three enticing men I've just met might need me even more than anyone back home ever has—and somehow I feel like I belong in this strange world. I'm connected to the powers here in ways I barely understand. Too bad the Queen of Hearts won't give me time to unearth my hidden magic. She's coming for all our heads, and she's particularly eager to claim mine.

I much prefer this cover

Katee Robert is without a doubt my favorite erotica author for a reason. Her stories are smut with plot. They're compelling, immersive, addictive, and absolutely searing.
Dark Restraint gives us a peek behind enemy lines and the machinations of the benefactor. Ariadne, oppressed and secluded by Minos, betrays him to Olympus for a chance at freedom. Her defection forces her to leave behind the only friend she's ever had and secretly desires, The Minotaur.
Not only is The Minotaur enraged that she kept him in the dark, he's now been commanded to kill her. But how can he hurt the only woman who's ever shown him kindness, who sees the man beyond the monster?
**Minor spoilers ahead**
What I loved:
- Asterion, AKA The Minotaur: He's big, he's scary, he's deadly. He terrifies with a single look. Why use words to threaten, when presence is sufficient? He does what needs to be done to survive. But Ariadne is everything. Beneath the frightening exterior is a man who loves deeply. If you're not Ariadne or someone she loves, beware.
- Perspective: Ariadne and the Minotaur are pawns in the war between the 13 and the benefactor. They're taking control of their destiny. Much of the series focuses on the 13 and their petty politics. Dark Restraint shines a light on the lives of those used and abused by the power players in the war for Olympus.
- World building: We're finally getting more information about the benefactor's plans! The war in Olympus is reaching its boiling point and behind-the-scenes plots are revealing themselves. It's plots on plots on plots.
- Inclusivity: Ariadne is a plus-size, intelligent, strong, and vulnerable woman of color who loves herself regardless of what the world tries to force her to be. There are also non-binary assassins, polyamorous relationships, and plenty more.
What I would've liked:
- More of him Dionysus: He captivated my heart when I was first introduced to him, and I was hoping he'd play a bigger role in this book. As it stands, he's a minor supporting character that somewhat moves the plot along. If, like me, you were hoping for more of Dionysus, this isn't the book. Crossing my fingers that he plays a bigger part in Shattered Gods.
TL;DR
The plot is plotting.
The smut is smutting.
Katee Robert never disappoints!
I've been obsessed with the Dark Olympus series since book one and it keeps getting better.
If you're new to the dark romance scene, this series is a wonderful place to start.
